I was going to use tungsten and halogen light bulbs to try and run an indoor photography studio, since my house's rather small. But I've found that natural light, if I could work it, would come out better. It's just learning to hold my camera still long enough to make sure the pictures don't come out blurry that I need to handle... My tripod unfortunately broke after only about half a year of having it. So I'm glad to have read this tutorial and hopefully it will help me get the shots that I'm looking for.

Thank you for this tutorial. A classmate actually wants me to take her senior pictures tomorrow, and this tut gave me a bit of advice I am definately not even as good as a beginner, but hope to improve, and need the experience. Thanks again for writing this
